These fully integrated connectors and adapters provide protection from Electro Static Discharge (ESD) and Electronically Fast Transients (EFT) that can damage or even destroy your equipment. The connectors are designed to meet various IEC 61000-4 standards, and are offered in a wide range of clamping voltages to fit your specific application. The connectors have integrated ESD transient voltage suppressors from Littelfuse®, are available in industry standard sizes and are "drop in" replacements for unprotected connectors.

They are available with various capacitance levels to condition your signals to handle EMI issues at the same time or with as little as a 0.05 pF to protect the integrity of your signal in high speed or digital applications.

Features

• ESD/EFT protection at the I/O ports
  Prevents the transients from entering the system before they can cause harm or create EMI problems.
• Low ground impedance
  The metallic shell provides minimal impedance to direct the damaging transient spikes to ground, which is essential for proper protection.
• Removal of ground traces from the board
  This eliminates potential line-to-line noise problems and spark-overs between ground and signal lines.
• Complete protection
  All lines, including ground lines, have bi-directional protection.
• Efficient space utilization
  Standard footprints save valuable board space in terms of not only components, but also extra ground traces.
• Fewer components
  Reduces total number of components purchased, stocked, placed and tested; yielding the savings of all the hidden costs involved in these activities, while reducing your supplier base.
• Available capacitance
  Available with various capacitance values to supply low pass properties along with the transient protection, thus supplying ESD/EFT and EMI protection all in one complete package. The metal shell also provides EMI shielding of system. Parts are available with capacitance values less than 50 pF for digital and very high speed signal lines.
